Not to mention how bad it dumped on offense and broke half the tier with SD and Blitz/HJK alone.

How do you simulate Analytic boost in the damage calculator? The one I'm using doesn't seem to have that function.

Set the Pokemon's base speed to 1 or set Speed boosts to -6.
If the analytic ability is not calculating try replacing it with sheer force or simply use a life orb as both apply the same modifier and should give the same result as if using analytic
SF doesn't boost LO Hydro Pump / Psyshock from Starmie though.
Switch Hydro pump to scald. Up scalds BP from 80 to 110 in the calculator and then apply sheer force. Should do the trick and give you an equivilent reading of analytic hydro pump
Here is an example 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Starmie Scald (110BP) vs. 252 HP / 224+ SpD Mew: 187-220 (46.2 - 54.4%) -- 4.7% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Seen this word used several times before but forgot to ask:
What is the meaning of "based sets" or "based lord" ? It seems to be used very often.

It means you should stop using that term so you don't make yourself look like a moron.
No, no, that's just in general.
Any reason why Soft-Boiled is used on mew more than Roost?
To clarify, it's like how kids used to say "cool" things were "da bomb", " tubular", or "boss". It's pretty cringey.
Very theoretically something could have Imprison and Roost, blocking mew out of healing. Softboiled has a worse distribution but functionally it doesn't matter.
No it's just really hard to explain. When you call something "Based" you're describing its overwhelming bad assery, positivity, or other "good things." It's also very slang-like and obnoxious according to many members of this community Christo The Gr8
Just smogon sheep culture using whatever term more influential users use. In this case its referring to CTC, who had a team archive thing here a while ago and newer users came to ride dicks for teams by copying his style of writing, including calling his teams based and basically anything else too. The term itself isnt CTCs but it got popularised because of him. Nowadays it just means a really solid set or stuff like that.
So... The baton bass clause didn't had been updated to only 1 stat per time when boosting?, so why this happened:

The clause is that you can't pass Speed+another stat. You can pass however many of the othe stats you want, but not Speed and another.
The current policy is being re-reviewed, but here's the current reason:
This was brought a long time ago, and while it is theoretically possible, at the time it was pretty much unanimous that tier leaders didn't want to tier Megas separately from their base forms. (Here's the thread for reference: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tiering-mega-evolutions-separately.3500303/)
It was a pretty short discussion, but I believe a lot of the opposition against doing this involved the fact that there are those who view Megas not as completely different Pokemon, but rather a separate set (Pokemon + item) that the Pokemon can run, and in tiering Megas separately from their base forms you're tiering a set of a mon plus the mon itself. Also, this would get a bit weird since Mega Latios would basically drop Latios to a lower tier provided that it hold a specific item.
He certainly can't; everyone knows bludz is almost completely redundant, being outclassed by Hoopa-U so idk why you're agitating for a rise here in the wrong thread.
:P
How can I get more in to the Metagame ?
I ask because I am very very interested in Battling more than Breeding In-Game Stuff and Tradig them. And I really don't know where I can begin and on which Threads I can be active. I would really appreciate it when Someone would tell me where I can begin here to get more Active in the Competitive Discussion Forum.
